Keep Australia Beautiful Week
Keep Australia Beautiful Week 2021
16-22 August 2021
Keep Australia Beautiful (KAB) Week is held in August and is a time to raise awareness about the simple things we can all do in our daily lives to reduce our impact on the environment and encourage action to reduce litter.
This year we're putting plastic in the spotlight as we try to reduce, reuse and recycle plastic to prevent it from becoming litter. See how you can get involved here
We encourage all Western Australians to consider how they can participate in KAB Week and be role models for their families, friends and communities.
Easy ways to participate
Do:
- Organise a clean-up in your neighbourhood or quick tidy up in your street. Register your clean up and we will provide resources such as bags, tongs and gloves.
Reduce your impact in KAB Week and look for ways to rethink your purchases and refuse single-use items that can become litter. - Register as a Litter Reporter and report littering when you see it. Litterers can receive a $200 fine.
- Get involved in a KABC program such as Adopt-a-Spot or become a Litter Reporter.
Learn:
- Ready? Set. Clean-up! Teach your school or family group about litter before your clean-up. Download the presentation.
Share:
- Videos and information from the anti-litter campaign-"If you leave litter, you're rubbish".
- Follow us and share our daily Facebook and Instagram posts with your networks.
- Put links to our information on how to get involved in your newsletter or email communications.
In 1972, Keep Australia Beautiful Week was born. To celebrate the occasion, the then Prim
e Minister Gough Whitlam released a historical video 'Live Without Litter. His words resonate with us all still today.
